Our research group name is the is an acronym resulting from the terms Educational and Social Inclusion and Participation. The group aim is to promote a space for research, debate and social transformation consistent with the principles of social and ecological justice.
Our group belongs to the University department of Education and has a long history (since 2001) in research education on inclusion and social justice. Through numerous projects and related publications, the group has investigated the multiple facets of inclusion/exclusion as a phenomenon socially constructed. Our works frequently adopt ethnographic, narrative and participatory methodologies. We have been investigating together with various groups and institutions (youth, women, prison, schools, people with disability, social associations and collectives, etc.). Usually, these social agents have participated in our projects as co-investigators.
